Voters without a party now outnumber Republicans on Blakeman’s Nassau County home turf

There are now more registered voters without a party than there are Republicans in Nassau County, the home turf of failed gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, according to newly released data. Non-affiliated voters now outnumber Republicans 314,000-307,000, according to active enrollment data that was released in early November just before GOP pick Blakeman was shellacked in his bid to unseat Gov.

Non-affiliated voters don’t include members of minor political parties including the Conservative and Working Families parties.
